An unhinged Rant on Tarkov Quests 

Shooter bored in heaven is the perfect example of why you shouldn't develop your game based on how fast a streamer progresses through it. Not everyone can play 16h per day.

I also love that half of the quests are now locked behind unobtainable keys due to being banned on the flea market.

Honestly, I hate any quest that forces you to use a particular kit. It just makes the game feel so much more restrictive in an unessisary way.

Quite honestly every quest in this game becomes unberable given the fact you need to redo them every wipe. For me quests are more of an unpleasant necessity and they give the impression that they are the least thought through part of the game.

8:29 they haven't dropped the timer to 7, it is actually 15 seconds of sitting like a goblin

Generally seeing people unhappy over quests brings me some slight happiness but seeing ALL the quests that are bad in the game & hearing anecdotes of people suffering from them, feels bad man

thank god for daily quests from jaeger like "find milk" or "find fuel".. handing over milk or empty fuel can for a little bit of rep is nice. I killed scavs without body armor, dehydrated myself, did tarkov shooter part 1 and 2, the iskra and water bullshit inside the bunkers.. now i just need to reach lvl5 vitality and with that quest i will be sitting at 0.50 rep with him which is enough for maxing him out and then i'm 1000% sure i won't do anything for him until next wipe. Also prapor and his tank battery can suck my AK barrel...

Shoreline needs a complete rework. There is like 3 places of interest on the entire fucking map and the rest is open field where you never know if some deepshit is siting under the bush for 30 minutes with .366 BP-M

I love when quest keys are gated on the flea with only barters for items I'm even less likely to find then the actual key I need...🙄

I've personally, after 700 hours, gotten beyond tired of having to do the quests to unlock standing with the traders and certain items. I wish you could take the Cycle's approach and just earn standing with them for buying and selling items. The current quest system is extremely RNG based, and it's easy to get soft locked out of progress. I know this may change when they put the main campaign in, but for now, I've been taking a break.

For anyone looking for help with Spa Tour part 1, I suggest bringing a double barrel loaded with slugs as a secondary. Same goes for the scav kills needed for Punisher part 4

Kappa is most sadistic quest of all on the end road. You have to do all torture to get 3 or 4 slots in secure container. You do it every wipe all over again. Literally the definition of Insanity.

I absolutely despise Shoreline with every ounce of my being. And now that they nerf carry weight even more that map is just a walking simulator with guns wizzling in the background. The loot there is too spread out to actually warrant a stash run and the map annoying funnel you into a few choke point across the middle section when you eventually made your way to the extract. Sure the village is a good place for keys run but the other side is just a big ass field of nothingness where everyone ran to weather station, resort or pier for quests. If you want to do stash run, just bloody run Interchange or Woods if you are scared of running into people. I only ever go on Shoreline for quests and even then it just too much. It doesn't help that all the Shoreline quest are just the epitome of boring and bad quests design.

I don't recall seeing when BSG stated they removed more scav spawns from the day map on shoreline. Out near road to customs there used to be scav patrols and at the tower used to have scavs there too. But in a year I've not seen random AI scavs.

I quit tarkov after one wipe (the last one), but you're the only tarkov youtuber I still watch just because how entertaining and interesting you make the vids. Love them.

I did terragroup employee on Labs, and I did it first try. I literally waited until i had 3 mins left to extract. It’s such a stupid quest since you can’t die with that sliderkey. If you do, you need to spend 300k again since sanitary room has a one use only key

Epic tip for doing BS for skier: go at night, bring a KS23 with flash rounds, and most importantly bring like 10 green smokes the scavs just sit in the smoke and don’t Aggro onto you

One of Jaeger's quest dialogues says something about "Unimaginable Personal Sacrifice". I couldn't put it better myself

How dare you hate ANY quest that be done with the mp153.

The problem with most of these quests to me feels like they're supposed to be in the release version of the game due to how long and difficult some of them are so how is the average player supposed to test these quests if they'll never get to them before the game wipes

1: Ragman quest Big Sale is annoying, because it has to be done in one go. Even if you want to say "game hard, get good" the problem is you get it as his first quest, then run around the mall, and avoid or kill the gigachads running around the mall while you are just trying to travel around. It's crap. Plus why in the lore couldn't you just scout one or two of the stores then leave then come back? 2: Farming could be buffed by making it required to make your own bitcoin farm. Like maybe he gives you what you need to make your first one, or just is required and he teaches you how to then make Farming part 5 but the quest is just getting what you need to make your farm, then you make it. I don't know something like that makes sense to me.

*Interchange doesn't have a special place in hell, IT IS the special place in hell* Lmao man love the content keep it up

Quests end up always making me burn out and stop playing. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

"I'm actively considering sudoku right now" Well played, lmfao

I understand I'm probably missing out on a few things by not doing a majority of these quest, but once I get the flea open, I just kind of do my own thing. I like looting, I like shooting and I like selling. I'm fine doing all those things and avoiding quest all together. Some of these quest are just mind blowingly horrible. I'm just waiting for one to come out saying "Collect urine sample from all map bosses without killing them, while wearing nothing but the pompom. While dehydrated. With 1 health. And broken legs."

The one and only time I've ever gone labs was the beginning of this most recent wipe (1 mont ago or so). Found a keycard literally the first raid 10 mins after wipe, still level 1. Went in and died instantaneously to an SKS (Or an AK Idk never saw the guy) . 12 second raid time. I never saw the guy or even began to understand the map at all. Idk if it was a hacker or what but my Gigachad friends say the hacking situation is still butt cheeks on labs. Even today. Needless to say I don't think I'll ever go back.

Your video style, narration and editing is great man. Much love from the uk

If you think Peacekeepers "The Guide" is bad you haven't heard of Jägers "The Huntsman Path - Relentless".

Honestly over 80% of tarkov quests are "bad quests" imo. Being forced to play specific maps for dozens of raids because good rng is needed or bad luck is terrible. I just want to run factory over and over.

Great video man. I laughed a good hit and it’s all extremely relatable

Bruh! You’re the man of the people!!! Love this video. Keep up the hard work!

I connect with The Goblinslayer, he just wants to kill goblins and it's legit all he does and he's exceptionally good at it. I want a Zenit AK with BP to merc Scav Bosses and Sxavs, I dont care about anything else.

The irony of you saying “repetitiveness and redundancy” back to back is too good lol Good vid

Love your videos man!

I personally hate colligues part 1 because A it's shoreline B you have to go to the 3 biggest hotspots on the map C in one raid

I am someone who plays Tarkov every other wipe. I genuinely cannot fathom how people keep on repeating them every wipe without getting ridiculously bored.

BSG design a task that isn't on dorms challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

You're so funny and entertaining. Thank you so much.

3:13 reminded me of Nikitas "will be we will be willbe be be will... BLIN"

Personally here, third wipe, 2.7k hours, had kappa last wipe. Anything related to shoreline makes me suicidal. Nothing else really bothers me too much (capturing outposts is technically an exception), but just anything pertaining to shoreline is hell. Shoreline is hell. Shoreline is hell. Shoreline is hell.

Shotguns on Shoreline were fun like 2 wipes ago, the accuracy was significantly better, bullet drop was better, damage drop-off was better. My favorite gun was a ap-20 firing sniper-shotty, could accurately hit heads at 100+ meters with little to no zeroing.

The production budget of these videos match the green helmet. I like it!

12:20 I've grown to like that spawn.. not for good reasons mind you. Once loaded in, do a 180, bolt through shipping containers, across the road and up the hill.. then bush camp looking back up the road. Can usually kill a spawn or two coming from road to customs.

Tarkov burn out is real, and one of the main reasons are quests and questionable game design decisions. I've been playing this game since 2017 and I loved it back then and actually tried completing as much as I can. Today I can barely take the game seriously with all the bad spawns, repetitive and boring quests and some odd game mechanics. Honestly I love(d) this game but I it's just getting old and it's not even out. At least we gonna get Arena which is pretty good and refreshing.

I enjoy your rants, I find solace in the Tarkov pain we all share together

There have been multiple times in between breaks that I've thought "maybe I'll jump back in now" but then i remember the quests and decide to wait another wipe.

Genuine amazing content 10/10

The quests that I hate the absolute most are bolt-action rifle quest , I remember last wipe when i finally got the psycho sniper done never again having to pick up such a shitty rifle . That was untill this wipe...

My deal is that so many quests I have to deal with are so rng based. Having to juggle that with hideout upgrade rng is just the most painful experience I’ve had so far. I’m lucky to have finally gotten flea market so I can buy items for it, but the game gives you fifty fetch quests that you don’t even have a chance to complete sometimes

it was funny seeing him without the green screen and he just looked back at the nothing blue blanket. it shows what he does for us to keep the illusion

Aye just wanted to drop a comment and say thanks for actually talking in these videos. I can't actively watch the videos but I can listen and nobody else really talks in their videos, its just cuts of game play and some voice over but mostly game play. I can't watch them because I have no idea whats happening. You explain everything and its my first wipe so I get to learn

I actually did the "un-named quest" for Skier solo last wipe.

this was perfectly timed, just logged off for the day because shoreline tasks have been destroying my motivation to play and i couldn't put it into words why i hate this map so much.

Man love your viss

Needed this video

I hate Ragman's quest (I think it's called inventory check) it's relatively easy to exploit but that shit softlocked me in a wall once with a rsass + slick kit so I forever hate it

Peacekeeper requiring friend from the west means unless you farm factory for pvp you'll struggle to get him your first wipe. This wipe (after 4 wipes i killed 35 player - 28 bears before i got the last usec wt -frick!!

Please, do the quest you most like. I love your tier list videos

There deffo needs to be a part 2 rant on this, with the huge amount of added quests, and also the changed quest

I would add every quest that requires FiR items - no skill involved only prayers to RNGesus

I think Veritas made a good point about everytime they add quest or talk about a rework, we all envision them making the quest have more depth but all they have done is made them just as frustrating and basic with different qualifications.... they made the pool a one foot deep olympic pool instead of just making there backyard pool 2 feet deep lmao

Great video! Great break down!

A nice way to kinda keep the quests fresh would be mixing up the rewards between wipes, kinda like the operational tasks. The rewards could be randomly generated (aside from trader unlocks) to keep us grinding, maybe they could be organized into tiers based on the difficulty, so the later ones get more rewarding and maybe we'll actually want to complete more of them for once, especially if we're not going for kappa.

6:20 I play solo 95% of the times, but this quest never was too hard for me to do. You just pick a bush somewhere in the vicinity of Dorms and lie in it for 15 minutes or so. By that time PMCs will murder scavs and each other, and leave. Time consuming, yeah, but you always can make some tea, grab a snack and watch RU-vid while you wait.

I have not watched the video yet, but yeah. Some quests are counter intuitive to the game flow, have terrible overall pace, are lackluster and dont even get me started on the dailies (kill Killa 3 times by hitting him in the left leg with an impact nade from 100m away)

I really should consider that strat. To, when the situation demands, throw all my gear into the ocean and frag myself.

I was waiting for him to just say ‘and for Jager… all of them’ and end the video lol

You forgot Colleagues - Part 1, the one that has you going to 3 of the hottest locations on Shoreline in the same raid and extracting despite not telling you that it has to be done in one single raid or it resets.

Shoreline as a map is abysmal, interchange loot layout needs balancing and scavs pushed back later in raid but I like the map, other maps are pretty good

Very entertaining and I couldn't agree more. What I think would be interesting to the dynamics of the game, would be if the trader quests weren't in any chronological order from the start of the wipe but given randomly. Obviously some, more "story" - driven quests which tie in to other traders would be an exception. Start of wipe is fun but it becomes too predictable when the progress funnels everyone basically to the same place all the time. They could reorganize the quests into say a pool of 2 or 3 chronological patterns, of which one "quest pattern" is assigned to you at the start of the wipe randomly. One player may have Peacekeeper unlocked from the get-go where others have to unlock him later and so on...? Food for thought... or even keep it simple, have totally different quest lines for BEAR and USEC. Imagine a quest where you need to extract with a member of the opposing faction, now that would be a challenge... As far as maps, Shoreline is really lacking another major point of interest and I think it needs a major re-work. It may already be in the works, but the fortified area on the shoreline near construction would be ideal, as long as there were multiple points of entry/exit. Hey, maybe even a bunker system that takes you all the way to radar station? It needs expanding in some places and reductions in others. It definitely needs more scav spawns, too. Interchange, as you say, needs huge work as far as lighting. Some of it just so nonsensical, like where the major outlets have giant flippin' skylights in the roof but only the confines of the area directly underneath the skylight is awash with daylight. I still can't believe it hasn't been addressed yet.

great content keep it up!

I like all the early quests. They definitely get worse as it goes on though. And yeah, fuck shoreline.

I'm the only person I know that plays eft, so I only solo and watch some steamers to learn stuff. I thought i was just terrible at these quests, feel better now that I know other people suffer with me

I am currently stuck on the Killa quest for the past 6 days with only seeing him on interchange 2 times while searching the whole map during those 6 days

I like to think we've all had that one string of unlucky raids trying to do delivery from the past

I wish they would fix the AI. I remember like 5’th day of wipe shoreline scav boss 1 shot me through a window at the resort from half way across the map like 40 seconds into the raid. 10/10 AI guys. And also for the love of god when does the full open world come out? I’m looking forward to the day where I’m not GARENTEED to run into a pmc constantly. I swear I can’t walk 5 feet without being shoot from 200 meters away by a pmc. No matter the map at this point. The consistent spawn in system we have now makes it feel more like a death match

I would also add the quest to kill reshala cause it's not hard reshala is piss easy to kill it's just the fact of rng 1. Did he spawn? Prob not 2. Did u kill him before anybody else? Maybe 3. Did u find him in the raid that he spawned in? Likely 4. Did a random scav head,ears you from 75 meters with a shotgun? Who the fuck knows 5. Did a no life tryhard PMC 3rd party you while you were fighting reshala? Yeah he did 6. Did you kill reshala before getting the quest? Yes you did now go do it again This also can include other quests to kill bosses

Speaking on Skier, another dumb quest is what happens after you choose either Prapor or Therapist in Chemicals Part 4 when you have to "regain trust" and regain the rep you lost from them. Prapor: 10 frag grenades. Fairly straightforward. They're not uncommon to find in-raid and they're not expensive on the market. Therapist: 4 keys. Alright, a bit much, but they're all fairly mid-tier keys and not super rare or valuable, so at the very least you could possibly buy them off the market and give those to her. Skier: *One million rubles.* what a crock of shit

Rewatching this after completing Survivalist Path: Cold Blooded and his thoughts on Jaeger make so much more sense now.

I agree with everything but SBIH. I think it should be increased to 200M headshots because its meant to be a sniping/marksman mission. 100 is too short, 125 is not far enough. If it was 200 people would actively go to sniping spots and use bolt actions for the task for MOA reasons. I snipe a lot, I get SBIH done without even thinking about it. Seeing you use a holo to shoot someone far away, I don't think the quest is the issue. No offensive, most people just don't know how to shoot long range or where to go. All my SBIH shots are 200 - 400 meter headshots. Me personally, I would add a task like SBIH2 that is 300+ headshots, 1 the same maps. Just 1 though. A shooter dragged from hell

Can't wait for the actual story quests to be added to the game

i love how they took your suggestion and ran with it on farming part 4 i wouldve been dissapointed as hell getting a pistol case for doing that

this video needs a part 2 now as a lot of quest have been changed, like shooter born in heaven

me just watching this waiting for garand thumb to upload

The only defense people have for Shorline is the god damn Resort. Ok, neat. What else is there? Stashes? Cool! Good luck getting to them before ultra chad mc doesn't leave the basement finds you. Or you get head-eyes by a SCAV with a shotty 30+ meters through 11 bushes and 8 trees. 0/10 worst map I've ever played in any game. Fails to do anything good for the player experience the map needs to be completely remove and forgotten along with every redundant painful task with zero thought put into it. Even the buildings and locations worth a damn are designed to feel like pulling nails off your hands. I avoid Shorline with every possible second until I am required to go there. Whoever "designed" that map needs to re evaluate their ability to design anything.

Great video I watched it while sharpening a knife, 10/10 knife sharpening experience.

I love that ur talking to ur lamp

I have a riot society shirt with the bear like that in pink haha. I'm a casual player, I play the game on the weekends ever so often so I appreciate videos like this, usually I won't get to most quests in a single wipe.

You should make more rant videos I find then very fun to watch

I really didn't play last wipe, but boy howdy am I happy to hear they not only rolled back the range increase on Shooter Born, but also just made it flat headshots with bolt actions with no range requirement.

tip for getting scav headshots with a shotgun is do the exact same thing they do to us and use magnum buck at range. it works pretty quickly

top tier tarkov content.

My first time on interchange was not being able to find loot seeing pmcs scurry around in the darkness and wandering into killa (not being able to see him) dying to him after 2 burst to the head at 50m

My biggest problem with the quests is it forces me to use equipment I don't want to use. If I'm going to woods for a pickup quest, I may as well also go in with a bolt action for shooter born.

Shoreline is the bane of my existence. Lighthouse and Woods are my go to maps if I feel like taking a break from tasks.

last wipe i did bullshit solo first try. didnt realize how lucky i was until this wipe.

This is my favorite game of all time That being said I’ve only played like 13 hours this wipe because Elden ring, ready or not the quests, and the level 4 trader grind. I’m looking forward to next wipe I’m just not looking forward to doing my in game chores before I get to actually play the game.

The punisher part 4 for me the worst of it is the PMC kill on the shoreline while using the scav vest. Why do you ask? Simple, the scav vest is one of the smaller rigs in the game limiting a lot of what you can run with. If you want to run with any assault weapon you either have a crazy trigger control and only shoot when it is strictly necessary to avoid wasting ammo and needing to stop to reload the mag or bring bigger mags such as the 60-round mag of the ak, and that still won't fix the entirety of the previous problem since when you waste one of the mags you will lose a lot of time reloading the now empty one, having to count only with the 60 on your gun, that not accounting with the misfire and bolt jamming problems that tend to happen when using these mags due to the high quantity of shots fired. For me, the only viable and considerate way of doing it is either with a shotgun using flechette rushing the resort hoping to get some kills or running with a vpo (bolt action) with a scope, silencer and using AP ammo, camping the choke points of the map. Any other one is too expensive or risky for a quest that the rewards may not pay for even half of the investment of a good kit.

Real easy fix: all map specific kill quests should rotate each wipe. Requires virtually no effort on BSG's part, makes PK quests (and the wipe) marginally more interesting, and moves a lot of the shitty woods/shoreline quests onto new maps.

Last wipe when I went for Shooter pt. 8 I died so many times or had raids where I could only find 1 or 2. Then one raid I decide to go into woods with just a inf. mosin w/ iron sights and as I'm going up the mountain on the east side 3 PMCs came down one by one and I headshot all 3 just point firing. I still think it's probably my best moment in the game so far.
